Hi Ben,
even if you can't use one of
Jerry's S-beams, he should be able to weld you one of these babies (see
attached pics).
Lay them out the way you need them,
have some knowledgeable engineer math it and off you go!
Startermount included, and also
check the turbo-pack!!
Photos are from an old post on the
"other" list.
Richard Martin is "responsible" for
that beauty, working for a helicopter project...
I have pics, if you need/want them,
but these are the most "visible" ones!
I assume a CCI would do
also-sideways, though I do not really like the loadpath of the
CCI.
Another alternative is the Mistral
backplate mount, but again, I don't really like the loadpath through the
engine.
My personal go is something like
the pics show - or a S-beam - the load gets picked up there and the engine is
left alone.
Keep on mind the pics show a mount
for a helicopter project, but I believe it should be possible to get it right
for plane inthe same manner, though possibly with different
dimensions.
